How to submit to VC4A
Open the VC4A submission page
This is the page makers use to add a product.
Create an account
VC4A asks you to sign up before you can submit.
Have your assets ready
Name, tagline, description, logo and screenshots. The checklist below covers what to prepare so you can fill the form in one go.
Fill in the form carefully
Pick the most specific category the form offers and write the description for the people who browse VC4A (Investors, accelerator programs and support organisations working with African startups), not for search engines.
Wait for review
A person reviews submissions, so it can take a while. Once it’s live, check the link on your listing points to the right page.
Tips for VC4A
- Ventures must be for-profit and past the concept stage with a working product
- Its guidelines say most ventures seek between $10K and $5M, so state your raise clearly
- A complete profile is also your ticket to apply to programs hosted on the platform
From VC4A’s own guidelines and pages, in our words.
What to prepare
The basics every directory asks for, plus what matters most for regional startup directories.
- Product name and a one-line tagline (about 60 characters)
- A short description (1–2 sentences) and a longer one (a short paragraph)
- Square logo, at least 256×256 px, PNG or SVG
- 2–3 screenshots at a consistent size
- The exact page you want the link to point to
- Pricing model (free, freemium or paid) and a contact email
- Where the company is registered and where the team is based
- Founding year, team size and stage
- A description in the local language, if the directory publishes in one
- Links to local press, accelerator or programme pages, if you have them
Is VC4A worth it?
We couldn’t verify the link
We didn’t find a live listing we could inspect, so we don’t know whether VC4A links are followed. Judge it on audience and effort, and check your own listing’s link once it’s live.
- Domain Rating by Ahrefs: 64 (strong). That's the strength of links to the whole site, not a promise about what your listing passes on.
- Tranco rank #224,723: a mid-sized site, inside the top 500,000.
- A person reviews submissions, so expect a wait and a real quality bar.
- Free to list, so the only cost is your time.
This verdict is worked out from the facts above with fixed rules (link type, review, price, Domain Rating by Ahrefs, Tranco rank), not paid for. The directory has no say in it.
